Press release 04/13

E-CO Energi reported a profit after tax of MNOK 401 in Q1 2013, as against MNOK 482 in Q1 2012. The decline is due to lower production. The actual selling price was on a par with last year. E-CO Energi expects production to be below normal in 2013.


2012 results for E-CO Energi - high production volume and successful hedging

Press release 03/13

2012 began with record-high reservoir levels. The available annual water supply was also well over normal, so E-CO Energi increased production by no less than 1 TWh compared with last year. The Group obtained prices that were 36 per cent higher than the area price for Oslo (NO1), thanks to successful power price and currency hedging. Efficient operations and good production planning with high availability of the power plants contributed to yet another strong quarter for E-CO Energi. Consolidated operating revenues totalled MNOK 3 251. The average selling price was 0.30 NOK/kWh, which was 36 per cent higher than the NO1 price. The net profit for the year was MNOK 910, compared with MNOK 943 last year. The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of MNOK 750.

Press release 06/12

E-CO Energi reported a net profit after tax for the first nine months of the year of MNOK 612, down MNOK 43 year-on-year. Although power production climbed by nearly one TWh, that was not enough to offset the formidable decline in power prices. "Hedging had a substantial favourable effect; the actual selling price has been 44 per cent higher than the area price for Oslo year to date (YTD)" says Tore Olaf Rimmereid, President and CEO of E-CO Energi.

Annual performance for 2011: Good 2011 profit for the E-CO Energi Group

Press release 01/12

2011 began with very little snow, a hydrological deficit and record-high prices. This trend reversed in mid-year, turning to record-high precipitation and a decline in prices. Thanks largely to the high level of availability of our power plants and efficient price hedging, E-CO Energi can once again report a good result. Consolidated operating revenues totalled MNOK 3 514. The average selling price was 0.37 NOK/kWh, which was 2.5 per cent higher than the area price for Oslo. The net profit for the year was MNOK 943, compared with MNOK 1200 last year. E-CO's Board of Directors proposes a dividend of MNOK 800.
